Looking for a healthy treat? This Berry Coconut Cream Delight is not only healthy but delicious too. The rich and creamy coconut milk freezes around the berries creating a wonderful mouth-feel with each bite. The frozen berries provide an ice-cream-like texture with just enough sweetness to satisfy cravings. This treat can be made to your individual preference; a sweetener is optional and so are the topping suggestions. This creamy treat is simple and fun to make. 

1 (13.5-ounce) can Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Original Coconut Milk
1 (16-ounce) bag Natural Grocers Frozen Organic Berries, (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries)
  Optional Sweeteners:, erythritol, stevia, Natural Grocers Brand Maple Syrup, etc.
  Optional toppings:, nuts (pecan pieces, walnut pieces, or almond slivers), seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, or flax), shredded coconut, cacao nibs, cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, coriander powder, or nutmeg

1. Pour the coconut milk into a mixing bowl; if it has separated, whisk until it is fully combined. Add the frozen berries. Stir until well combined and add sweetener of your choice to desired sweetness.
